Message to Q team and anons.
I work in a field that leans mostly left so I am silenced or rather take great care in ever mentioning anything related to our President at all ever. I took a chance today to test these waters with a person I know is more "center" focused and just slightly leans right more often than not.
She hates Trump. Period the end. Despises the way he he treats others in his tweets, and specifically mentioned how he treats women. When I asked if she thought he was harder on women than men, she said he is awful to everyone. She said he lacks class and statesmanship, respect for the office and the position. We work in politics so I understood her take on this. She hates the name calling and what she considers juvenile tweets, wanting to rip the phone from his hands.
She was not as upset about the policies, but lost some respect for me when I said I was a fan which is so hard. That last sentence may be the most important thing I have to share . And she's my friend so that was tricky to navigate and I was very careful with the discussion.
Even when I asked, if she had all information and knew exactly the places to poke the bear and could see every drop of potential corruption, she could not forgive the name-calling and condescension. Felt there was no need to hurt other human beings that way. She despises hitting disrespect back with disrespect. Cannot reconcile it.
I say this because obviously she can't see that our President has been attacked and brutalized in much more horrible ways. She sees no grace, caring or humanity in him, is blinded to others actions towards him or the potential reasons for his retaliations (or even that he is retaliating) Trust me, it will take a miracle, of which I believe can/hope can happen, to change these views.
While it makes me sad that she is totally stuck on the political incorrectness of our President that many of us love….this is a true challenge for changing minds. Just hoping there is a plan to explain it all or at the least to help it all make sense.
I am going to need some big time help if these right of center but not Trump people are ever to be swayed. BIG time help.
